“…Further investigation on SBH showed that the compound has even more systemic effects when administered orally to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chronic subclinical system inflammation (CSSI) rats [ 32 ]. In this context treatment with SBH significantly modulated serum inflammatory markers, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), while it enhanced antioxidants like malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) [ 25 , 32 ]. However, Syam et al observed that SBH induces mRNA expression of IL-6 in mice Balb/c strain infected with Salmonella typhi [ 42 ].…”

Antioxidant-Based Medicinal Properties of Stingless Bee Products: Recent Progress and Future Directions

Stingless bees are a type of honey producers that commonly live in tropical countries. Their use for honey is being abandoned due to its limited production. However, the recent improvements in stingless bee honey production, particularly in South East Asia, have brought stingless bee products back into the picture. Although there are many stingless bee species that produce a wide spread of products, known since old eras in traditional medicine, the modern medical community is still missing more investigational studies on stingless bee products. Whereas comprehensive studies in the current era attest to the biological and medicinal properties of honeybee (Apis mellifera) products, the properties of stingless bee products are less known. This review highlights for the first time the medicinal benefits of stingless bee products (honey, propolis, pollen and cerumen), recent investigations and promising future directions. This review emphasizes the potential antioxidant properties of these products that in turn play a vital role in preventing and treating diseases associated with oxidative stress, microbial infections and inflammatory disorders. Summarizing all these data and insights in one manuscript may increase the commercial value of stingless bee products as a food ingredient. This review will also highlight the utility of stingless bee products in the context of medicinal and therapeutic properties, some of which are yet to be discovered.

“…In a later study, the same researchers (Avila et al 2019) reported the honey of four stingless bees in Brazil (Melipona bicolor, Melipona quadrifasciata, Melipona marginata, and Scaptotrigona bipunctata) contained phenolics, flavonoids, and tannin. Biluca et al (2020) reported on the honey of six stingless bees (Scaptotrigona bipunctata, Melipona marginata, Tetragonisca angustula, Trigona hypogea, Melipona quadrifasciata, and Tetragona clavipes), finding phenolics, flavonoids, coumarin, and terpenoid. The phytochemical results of these reports were quantitative.…”

“…Further research is needed to isolate the active compounds of stingless bees honey that is natural antioxidants. The phenolic compounds in 10 species of stingless bee honey (Scaptotrigona bipunctata, Melipona bicolor, Melipona quadrifasciata, Tetragonisca angustula, Melipona mondury, Melipona rufiventris mondury, Melipona marginata, and Trigona fuscipennis, Melipona scutellaris, Tetragona clavipes) showed antioxidant activity (Biluca et al 2016), as did phenolics such as salicylic, protocatechuic, p-coumaric, caffeic, ferulic, 4-amino benzoic, chlorogenic, rosmarinic, vanillic, and mandelic detected in the honey of six stingless bees from Brazil (Biluca et al 2020). The stingless bee honey of T. iridipennis from India was reported to contain phenolics and flavonoids with antioxidant activity (Krishnasree and Ukkuru 2015).…”

Abstract. Syafrizal, Ramadhan R, Kusuma IW, Egra S, Shimizu K, Kanzaki M, Arung ET. 2020. Diversity and honey properties of stingless bees from meliponiculture in East and North Kalimantan, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 21: 4623-4630. Kalimantan Island in Indonesia is covered by tropical rain forests that are rich in biodiversity. Species, include a stingless bee (Trigona spp.). Recently, stingless bee beekeeping (Meliponiculture) in this region has become popular because the honey has a unique taste, a mix of sweet, sour, and bitter which is highly valued. The objective of this study was to determine the diversity of stingless bee species, the number of colonies, type of hive, and honey properties such as taste, acidity, color, phytochemicals, and radical scavenging activity or antioxidant in meliponiculture in selected areas of Eastern and Northern Kalimantan, Indonesia. The area studied included Samarinda, Balikpapan, Penajam, Bontang, Sangatta, and Tarakan. The study conducted by visiting the farmers, collecting the stingless bees species and bee products (honey, propolis, and bee pollen), pH, color and taste determination, phytochemical screening, and DPPH assay. We found 12 species, with Heterotrigona itama and Tetragonula laeviceps being the main ones cultivated by people in all research areas, except Balikpapan. We counted 111 colonies of T. laeviceps and 99 of H. itama in the meliponiculture. There were three types of hive used by farmers in meliponiculture. Most of the honey tasted sweet and sour with acidity or pH ranging from 3-4, and color from dark brown to light yellow. The phytochemicals contained tannin, alkaloid, flavonoid, triterpenoid, carotenoid, coumarin, saponin, and carbohydrate. The Tetragonula sarawakensis honey was the most potent in term radical scavengers. Our findings showed that stingless bee honey contains antioxidants with phytochemicals that are very useful for human health.
